It is Ash Wednesday and the start of our Lenten journey!!! We will be talking about Ash Wednesday, the meaning of Lent and how it helps us to prepare for the magical Easter Season!!! During the Lenten Season, the kiddos will receive hand prints with 'a special something extra' that they should at home during this season. It will be a simple task such as help clear the table. Yet, it helps to remind our nuggets that they are the HELPING HANDS of JESUS!!! This is a great way of reminding us all about our journey during Lent! Here is a Peek at Our Day!

So, tomorrow is National Polar Bear! I will be honest and tell you that I did not know something like this existed until I became a PreK Teacher. ...But now I do!!!! So we will be taking some time to chat about Polar Bears, where they live, climate, what they eat and more! I promised I was going to work on pulling some more STEM into our classroom so tomorrow I will be keeping up my word. We are going to do this neat, little experiment with ice and vegetable oil as a barrier. The kiddos will predict if their hand will be colder with or without the blubber. There are 2 plastic bags. The one has oil and the other one is empty inside so they slip their hand in and stay clean ( I think)! We will make a graph before and after the experiment to chart our progress. I will let you know how this one turns out!!! Here's a Peek at our Day!

It's Friday Fun Day in our Room! And by in our Room, I mean OUTSIDE because that is where we will be most of the day to enjoy the 70 weather in Feb!!!! We are taking our learning outside!!! I also wanted to mention that we are starting with 'Class Jobs' this week. We used to have a 'Happy Helper', which the kiddos loved. I told them that they have moved onto the next level where they are now responsible to have their own job each day. We will rotate through the jobs to distribute the workload!!! Following are the jobs. Be sure to ask your kiddo which one he/she was each day! I am sure they will love sharing!!!!

We will also be reading the adorable book, 'Let's Be Thankful' by P.K. Hallinan. This is a great quick read as we have all been a little out of practice for circle time after our long break, so we will ease back into things. Also, with a high of 62 degrees for tomorrow, we will be leaving PLENTY of time in our schedule to get the kiddos moving and groving OUTSIDE!!!

We have a little bit of this and that planned for Wednesday. .. First, we have Doughnuts with Dad! Can't Wait!!! Then, we have a special guest story time reader to celebrate Zoey's bday!!! Since Monday was Valentine's Day and we have off the next few days, we have just 1 day this week for a lesson. So, I thought we would pull a little 'We are Fishermen of Jesus' into the mix. I will read to the nuggets out of my favorite Kiddo Bible the story of 'Helpers and Friends.' We will talk about how we are all called to follow Jesus in our own, special way. We will then have the chance to go fishing!!!! Here is a Peek at our Day

as they help you learn and grow! Just like Jesus in our Life! Happy Valentine’s Day! Just a cute, little gift for my Sunday School and PreK kiddos. I love to remind my own nuggets that mistakes are AWESOME because they give us a 'do-over'. I'll pick great use of an eraser over a pencil any day in my home. If only adults, could give ourselves the same break that we tend to give our kiddos. Jesus washes away our sins and make us 'okay' just the way we are!!! A thought to remember for both adults and kiddos! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Here is a peek at our day for tomorrow. I am planning as if all things are status quo!
